In June, Allen revealed that she had gone back into studio with Greg Kurstin, the producer behind her first two albums. "You will be pleased to know that i am currently in the fucking studio with @GregKurstin," she tweeted. "No big deal really, im just throwing shit at the wall and seeing if anything sticks."

In this week's statement about her "professional name", Lily noted that she had "booked further studio time". "It's great to work at my own pace, with no commitments other than to make music," she said.

Lily Allen's last record, 2009's It's Not Me, It's You, debuted at No 1 in the UK album charts.
